How to make a button jump to slide and change state view on a separate slide

[Lashmore0001]

I have a homepage and from that you can enter two modules. I am struggling to accomplish this:

Homepage - Click on module one (an image represents module one and has two states; color and B&W)

Slide 1 - Module one information

Slide 2 - Last slide of module one. Click on "Complete" button to take you back to home page, but also changes the homepage image state from B&W to color to represent that module one is complete.

Let me know if I need to clarify more. Thanks.

Which version are you using? This is very important. Since you talk about states, I suspect you are using Captivate 9? However I am hesitant, because you talk about 'two states'? Normally a clickable object, like a shape button that can be filled with an image has already 3 InBuilt states: Normal, Rollover and Down. You can add a custom state, which could be a gray version of the image in the state. Have a look at this blog post, where I created several shape buttons with 4 states:

1 action = 5 Toggle Buttons - Captivate blog

If this is the situation, you'll have to use a shared or advanced standard action, triggered by the Success event of the Complete button on the last slide of a module. That action will look like this:

   Change State of SB_ModuleOne to Gray          SB_ModuleOne is the shape button on the Home screen, Gray the custom state

  Jump to Sl_Home

If you choose a shared action, the bolded words will be parameters. For two modules like you mention, you can use two duplicate advanced actions, only the shape button has to change for the second module.

Lilybiri I used SnagIt to take screen shots of a portion of the homepage and the page showing the complete button.

Also, yes I am in captivate 9.

I did post the advanced action, but do you have 4 states for that button? Or is this a group of many objects instead of one button: images, click box....? That makes it complicated. I wrote to change to Gray, but you want Color, that is just a name.

Can you post a screenshot of the timeline and of the Object States for the object you are using object states on?

You have a rollover area, which is interactive over that image. Why so complicated! I would use one shape button instead of a shape + image + click box trio.

Are you telling that the command 'Change State of Image_43 to NewState1' (please label objects and statesd!) is not working due to the rollover area? Or did you not try it yet, tjat standard advanced action I proposed for the Complete button? You have to check the option to keep states when returning to the slide.

The rollover area controls a textbox that describes each section. I haven't included that text box in the screen-shots due to sensitive content. I am attempting to try the advanced action.
